VANESSA Bauer has posted a defiant video with her dance partner Wes Nelson.

Dancing On Ice stunner Vanessa Bauer has shared a defiant video with Wes Nelson branding him “stupid” for almost falling over on the ice, before laughing and joking with him in the rink.

The 22 year old is partnered with the Love Island hunk on the show, but faced a storm of negativity when his girlfriend, Megan Barton Hanson, claimed Vanessa had announced she’d split with her boyfriend on the eve of the pair’s first performance as a “tactic”.

Megan claimed the "announcement" of Vanessa, 22, and Louis’ split was "a funny coincidence" given that the pair were performing the following night, claiming the professional dancer "wanted more hype" around their performance.

Instead, the brunette ice dancer shared three different videos with Wes – showing that the pair are enjoying each other’s company during rehearsals.

She then said in a fourth video: “We trained for the whole day, and the whole routine… we are really excited to show you guys the results, it’s going to be such a good week. It’s musical week, I can’t wait!”

It comes after Megan told The Sun: “It’s funny or a coincidence that Vanessa’s break-up came out the night they performed, she clearly wanted to get more hype around their performance. She knows the score; she did the show last year. She’s 22 years old.

“She knows questions are going to be asked about her and Wes and me being worried about them spending time together.
